FYI, I documented the steps to required to replace the certificates here. Unfortunately it the steps are written for users of Windows, but it also uses mostly cross-platform OpenSource tools and explains what's going on so I think it should be pretty translatable if you don't have access to any Windows boxes.
Just posting this so you have at least one go-forward path.

It is now over two months later to provide an update to the firmware with properly formated certificates. Is the problem the CA setup on the server isn't actually able to generate new certs? There is now less than two weeks till the certificates currently in use become defunct by the clients, never mind the annoying warning sign users have had to deal with. What is the solution, and what is its timeline?

The cert issue has already occured, didnt even make the end of the month. Openvpn will sit in waiting on server status. All do to cert issues that Netgear was aware of. I guess they think we should purchase a newer model with the proper certs installed. NEVER !!! from me
